Chuck ,Gracie and there cygnets. After reading the story of Chuck\'s death I wanted to share my beautiful family photo I took November ,11 on a morning walk. I sent in one other as well. So disappointed and angry someone made a terrible choice. Nature should not be treated this way. (Submitted by Sharyl Cianni)

I took this photo in my backyard on Sunday, November 5 with my Canon PowerShot SX410 IS. I live in the Tumalo Rim neighborhood between Johnson Rd. and Tumalo Reservoir Rd. This is a Blue Jay, which is very uncommon/rare in this area. They are primarily found east of the Rockies. (Submitted by Jacquelyn Robinson)

Great Horned Owl on a 102 degree day. Too hot to care if his picture was being taken. (Submitted by Ronald Rupprecht)
